Nanopowder
The specific focus here is on developing new, enhanced materials based on nanopowders and establishing an expertise base regarding analysis and production / processing / quality control of nanopowders.
The main objective is to develop nanopowders for application in refractories, hard metals, electronic components, process engineering, nanocomposites (fillers in polymeric materials) and to design nanostructured metallic materials.
Nanocomposites
Styria boasts a high level of scientific expertise and a sound industrial base in the field of polymeric structural and functional materials. The aim is to extend this expertise to include the field of polymer nanocomposites in order to establish a strong international competitive position. The area of nanocomposites deals with new kinds of composite materials in which nano-fillers are embedded in a plastic matrix in order to achieve specific and special properties. The nano-fillers may be inorganic (mineral/metallic) or organic; suitable plastic matrixes may be thermoplastics, thermosetting plastics, elastomers or liquid-crystal polymers. The following scientific and technological objectives are pursued in this field:
- Development of compounding and processing technologies for polymer nanocomposites.
- Identification of structure-property relations for polymer nanocomposites.
- Optimisation of special properties and property profiles of nanocomposites.
